Welcome to the Feasts Of Metal! Kindly leave sobriety & pop songs at the door because here is where I rustle up some great eats in my gallows themed kitchen with Cannibal Corpse soundtrack. I'll also introduce you to my favourite metal bands, albums, gigs, anything headbangy, since I became a fan in 1981. Crank it up!

Sop
Dunked toast
Right metal moshers this could hardly be called a meal but it is an unusual (and ancient) snack so I thought it worth a quicjk mention. Sop is a slice of buttered toast dunked in a cup of tea. It was very popular at the medieval table and back then both wine and soups would replace the tea.
The word Sop is even mentioned in the Bible:
"He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a SOP, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the SOP, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon." ~ if you want to check it out its John 13:21-26
Some people don't like the idea of eating wet toast, and having butter swilling around the tea's surface but its actually not bad. If like myself you are a bigger fan of savoury foods over sweet, then Sop is much better than simply dunking chocolate biscuits into a cuppa.
